A Couple of Chads: ESPN Releases "Eli’s Places" Season 3 Trailer
Eli Manning reprises his character Chad Powers alongside Glen Powell... As Chad Powers.
ESPN has released the trailer and details for the third season of its original series Eli’s Places, which explores the country through a college football-obsessed lens.
What’s Happening:
- Eli’s Places returns for season 3 on Wednesday, August 27.
- Season three of Eli’s Places spans 10 episodes. Highlights include Eli setting a toilet-paper world record at Auburn’s Toomer’s Corner, recreating the original batch of Gatorade with former Florida Gators coach Steve Spurrier, and paying tribute to the late Texas Tech coach Mike Leach with a pirate-themed segment.
- Eli Manning will revive his Chad Powers character opposite the new Chad Powers, actor Glen Powell.
- In a 2022 Eli’s Places sketch, a retired Giants star went undercover as Penn State walk-on Chad Powers with a wig, prosthetics, and all. The viral bit inspired Hulu’s Chad Powers, where Powell stars as disgraced QB Russ Holliday, whose only path back to football is by disguising himself as… Chad Powers.

- James Austin Johnson - SNL cast member
- Bo Nix - Denver Broncos QB, former Auburn QB
